Embeddings API
Introduction
The Embeddings API helps you search and analyze remotely sensed imagery through embeddings created by geospatial foundational models (GEOFMs); making it easy to find similar locations, track changes over time, explore geographic areas, and much more!
Key Concepts:
Tenants: Organizational units that own collections and indexes.
Collections: Embeddings generated from satellite imagery for a geographic area and time range.
Indexes: Vector indexes that enable fast similarity search over collection embeddings.
Search: Find similar chips by vector, existing chip, or location; detect changes over time; filter by geometry.
Access & Tiers:
Free tier: Includes access to several read-only collections with pre-generated embeddings and a ready-to-use index. Search and filter operations are available, but creating new collections or indexes is not permitted.
Paid tier: Full API access including creating custom collections and indexes.
Collection Modes:
Read-only (
r): Access pre-generated embeddings. Available to all tiers.Read-write (
rw): Custom collections you create. Paid tier only.
Tenants
Tenants are organizational units that own collections and indexes.
Getting Started
Create an account at the LGND Developer Portal to obtain API credentials.
Hierarchy
Tenants belong to an account. For SaaS developers, each tenant represents one of their customers. For individual developers, a single default tenant is typically sufficient.
